Reviews

The free version of the plugin is great for consultants, etc who don’t have constant appointments. HOWEVER, the free version will NOT notify you when an appointment is made. There is no way to know without logging in and checking. Their way of getting you to upgrade.

Fantastic and useful plugin. There are others out there and at first I was hesitant because of the prices, but I think it’s worth it. After extensive testing I decided to implement Birchpress on my website and it has been a charm ever since. Very flexible and very fast and helpful customer support. For my business it has been a huge improvement to implement this on my website. The interface is user friendly and logical even if you’re not a web developer.

We tested a lot of similar plugins. All of them did not fit our needs at some point. Birchpress Scheduler includes everything one needs, the Business+ Edition is a perfect piece of software. Yes, that costs. But: you not just get the software. You also get brilliant support. The Birchpress staff usually answers all requests within 24 hours. And they not just answer your request, they provide custom solutions for just every problem that might pop up if you need to customize the plugin to fit very special needs. We can only recommend this plugin. Brilliant support – I doubt we ever received such helpful support somewhere else.

The plugin is relatively straight forward to install and use in pages. It looks good, and is easy for the user as well. However, we were unable to use it, because it does not support localization properly:

– You can only configure a global static time zone, not changing depending on the client’s location.

– The same goes for changing the language – only a global setting is supported, no setting according the the clients “preferred language” browser setting.
